Dozens of police officers injured in violent protests following vigil for victims of Monday’s knife attack
The Southport MP, Patrick Hurley, has said rioters must face the “full force of the law” after 39 police officers suffered serious injuries during violent protests following a vigil for the victims of Monday’s knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club.
Jenni Stancombe, the mother of Elsie Dot Stancombe, reportedly wrote on Facebook: “This is the only thing that I will write, but please please stop the violence in Southport tonight. The police have been nothing but heroic these last 24 hours and they and we don’t need this.” “They were using the horrific incident on Monday, the deaths of three little kiddies, for their own political purposes and actually to attack the very same first responders and the very same police, who had been on the scene on Monday, were then being pelted with bricks the day after by these thugs.”
Dozens of people turned up outside Southport mosque on Wednesday morning with brushes and shovels to help with the clean-up operation.
